VAS Security 1.2 - VAS IT Solutions' own security protocol

     Security is an essential for our daily lives, now that we live in the 21st century. Almost all services (social media platforms, entertainment platforms, etc.) are now online-based platforms that are hosted by online servers.

Basically, an online server is just someone's computer interconnected to all of its users.

    In a normal online server having data transfer from an online service (websites, online applications, etc.), the data (depending on the service itself) is usually exposed before going to a typical server-side security (hashing, SSL, etc.) and finally through user's devices. 

     In a perfect world, this is enough for a user's security. However, many attacks are possible that attacks the server itself, such as SSH bruteforce, server credentials leak, Man-in-the-Middle attacks, and so much more that not only compromises the operation of the server itself, but exposes critical user data.

    Numerous protection mechanisms avoiding these kinds of attacks have been developed, including honeypots, multiple server backups, and many more. However, an alternative solution is possible; providing a proprietary security protocol that not only protects data through transmissions, but also protects all kinds of data in case of a server attack.

    A server attack including its data is critical. In order to prevent these kinds of attacks, we have to be prepared for the worst. Not only do we have backups in case server attacks come through, but we also have to protect exposing other people's data. 

According to Netcraft, MitM attacks were thought to pose a threat to 95% of HTTPS servers in 2016.

     VAS IT Solutions, in 2021, has crafted a proprietary security protocol, named VASec 1.2 (VAS Security 1.2) that not only encrypts data transmissions between servers and clients, but it also encrypts data at server-side levels. When applied, this security will prevent data leaks and hacks, thus protecting a user's data when accessing online content. This protocol is developed under a sophisticated encryption algorithm and cryptographic hashing in order to produce a practical solution in protecting data, as well as balanced speed, accuracy, and latency of any data transfer, making it also suitable for realtime applications.

     VASec basically adds a layer of security for both between client and server, and also between server and unauthorized users, encrypting data to a point of no practical usability. Data flowing to and from a server will be encrypted to make sure no data leaks will be possible.

     Currently, VAS IT Solutions has now implemented and will implement this security protocol to all of its systems and software developments among its clients and is currently running 24/7. However, it can also be implemented to other systems to further add a layer of extra security.
